SSDD...the brackish water is safe to drink....run your faucets indefinitely.
Via Stuy Town's Resident website:
"Updated statement on discolored water by DEP:
Due to a broken water main, brown water conditions may be affecting Peter Cooper Village residents. The Department of Environmental Protection will replace this main within the next week. Although discolored water presents no health risks, the DEP recommends that the faucet is allowed to run until the water is clear.
If you are experiencing discolored water and would like updates, you can call 311 or visit www.nyc.gov/html/dep/html/advisories/discolored_water_statement.shtml."

I hope you don't mind if I sing this again, but it has "hit" written all over it!!!
Sink Full of Troubled Water
by Simon and Doodle
When you're feverish, feeling ill,
When stains are in your tub, I would drink distilled;
I'm on your side, when plates get brown
And plumbers can't be found,
When the sink's full of troubled water
Do not drink it down.
When the sink's full of troubled water
Do not drink it down!
When you're washing clothes,
When your water's brown,
When bras come out so soiled
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When sickness comes
And pain is all around,
When the sink's full of troubled water
Do not drink it down!
When the sink's full of troubled water
Do not drink it down!
Run the water now,
Run it now.
Your time has come to brush
All your teeth will soon rot away.
See how they shine.
But not for long!
My doctors all agree,
When the sink's full of troubled water
You'll get a disease
When the sink's full of troubled water
You'll get a disease!
Brava!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahh, Edna; I can hear Art Garfunkel's beautiful voice in the background ~ it brought a brown tear to my eye. While reading Luxie's rant, it occurred to me maybe someone should contact the CDC (Center for Disease Control). They might be real interested.
Beulah, I have a new recipe for possum pancakes I REALLY must share with you over a glass of something with a kick!
